Let's get into it!

How a Planet is Formed Scientists agree that planets begin as a disk of gas and dust that swirls around a newborn star. Eventually, this swirling disk becomes a planet. Read More!

How a Star is Formed To understand how a star is born, we go back to dust. This dust is found in a cloud called a nebula that also contains hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases. Learn more!

This lack of mass prevents the brown dwarf from igniting, starting the process of fusion. They get hot, but not hot enough. Check it Out!
